Has my domain been hijacked?

Question

I own http://festivals.ie. I had a festivals website on this domain hosted on a VPS, but I shut it down a couple of years ago. Now when I go to this domain, I get the same webpage that appears at http://mk-s.org/.

I've checked and it seems that I still own the domain, so I don't understand how http://mk-s.org/ appear to have gained control of it?

Most probably the IP of your old VPS was reused for another customer.

I'd just change the DNS entry for your domain to point to a webspace showing a domain parking site or something similar.

Thanks for your reply, can you suggest an appropriate site that I would point this domain towards? – Dónal Jun 13 '17 at 09:06
Sorry, no. If you don't have a suitable server available, a small web space package should do it. Maybe the hoster of your domain has something fitting available. – Gerald Schneider Jun 13 '17 at 09:15
OK, I thought there might be something canonical like http://example.org that people use – Dónal Jun 13 '17 at 09:20

Just point it to 127.0.0.1. – EEAA Jun 13 '17 at 11:32
